Nope. Saw Major League dozens of times, and the only place I saw that scene was in the trailer.

of course,that would be TOO easy if you wanna find the scene your gonna have to find a pre-release screener on the betamax that paramount sent out to video stores way back when ::lol::

That scene isn't in Major League, but it is in the sequel.

Weird. I'll have to check that out. I could have sworn that scene was in the trailer for the first movie. So they took a scene filmed for the first movie and put it in the second one? Very weird.

Probably just the line. That's fairly common among writers and filmmakers that when a good line (or sight gag or whatever) needs to be cut for whatever reason, it will often show up in another film down the road.

It is in the trailer for the first movie. It was then cut from the first movie, but the joke was used again for the sequel.

Heh. Time will tell a TVB -> VHS from a network broadcast isn't easy to find though some tape traders have to have it to prove some people right/wrong here whatever the case is.

Hmmm - this whole argument about the FBDO is fascinating. I personally am almost certain I have seen the mystery scene, and I am old enough to remember its original release.

(Warning : SPOILERS for <b>Last of the Mohicans</b> follow)

On a similar note - if there are any <b>Last of the Mohicans</b> fans out there - there are two scenes which I have in my mind which were not in the Director's expanded edition DVD. I still have my VHS copy, and I know one of these is on the VHS but not the other (which I could possibly be imagining). I am curious to see who else recalls seeing these scenes:

1) Magua takes a bite out of Col Munro's heart after he cuts it out.

2) The point of Chingachgook's war club comes through Magua's back after he finishes him off near the end of the film.

As I said - I have both of these clearly in my mind, but only one is on the VHS tape and neither is on the DTS (expanded) DVD - just for fun, I won't say which one, so the "mass illusion" proponents can have their say. The only time I had seen this movie before buying the VHS tape from Col House was on rental VHS way back when it first came out, and possibly on a premium channel such as HBO - so if there is a difference, it was one of those.

That one is true. This is my first of hearing of a debate about this. I definitely remember it from the original airing. TVTome says this:

<i>There is a deleted scene where the announcer says, "The South Park Cows are being molested by the Middle Park Cowboys. I haven't seen a bunch of kids molested like that since Michael Jackson came to town" (or something to that extent). On Comedy Central and the DVDs, the line is cut before the announcer makes a mention of Michael Jackson.</i>

The battle axe impalement was cut, according to the IMDB, it doesn't mention Magua eating Munro's heart. I don't remember that either. I wonder if you are somehow confusing that scene with the Buffalo Hunt from Dances with Wolves, where they do eat the heart (or is it the liver?) they cut out of the buffalo.

Yes, the battle axe scene is in the VHS version.

No, I don't think I am confusing it with DWW - earlier in the film, when talking to Montcalm, Magua says "When the Gray Hair is dead, Magua will eat his heart". I have a very vivid picture of this happening, though it could be in my mind - or maybe from another movie, but not DWW, definitely a human heart.

What, you have a dead horse fetish? Four pages and around 100 posts of "I know I saw it" , "No you didn't - it doesn't exist" and "I'll believe it when I see a screen shot" aren't enough for you?

Michael Corvin 04-05-05 03:35 PM

funny how long this has lasted and really has nothing to do with dvd's. Should be in the movie forum.

TomOpus 04-05-05 05:45 PM

Yeah, maybe it should get moved to Movie Talk for a few months. Maybe someone there might have the ONE and ONLY screen cap that might exist :)

TVtoME post's what other's e-mail them. Unless I hear it from Matt and Trey, I do not beleive it. I'll try and dig up the threads in the past about this, but just like Ferris, hundreds of posts about it happening, and 0 actual confirmations.

Then we can try tv talk, after that maybe adult talk. Maybe they can uncover the lost Jennifer Grey nude scence from the police station.

First off, I've seen Ferris Beuler many times, with the first and majority of those times being on TV. I've never seen this scene in the film.

Granted, I can see why people might believe it exists. Just from the descriptions on this thread I can assemble a pretty clear mental image of the scene, but that doesn't mean it exists. Also, the recollections so far have slight differences. One person says Cameron's eyes move, one says they don't. Until physical proof pops up, which really shouldn't be that hard, it's highly unlikely.

Also, regarding South Park. I've watched that show since the beginning, often the original broadcasts, and the announcer has always been cut off. It was part of the joke, after the announcer making a number insensitive celebrity comments. The reason people remember him saying "Micheal Jackson" after "I haven't seen a kid molested like that since...." is because he's the obvious celebrity choice. The viewers completed the line themselves, but now it's permanently etched in their memories.

It's not like Matt and Trey don't ever change things. They have in the past changed things in the space between the Wednesday premeire and the reshowings of the episode later that week. However, having seen the original airing, the line simply doesn't exist.

I too have been a victim of possible false memory. When I was a kid I saw Flight of the Navigator in theaters. I distinctly remember a scene where, while the ship is in the ocean, some dolphins swim by and the ship translates the dolphin speak. This scene has never shown up in any video version. To me, it seems logical that the scene exists, since it would fit perfectly and make sense in the film, especially since nothing of note happens while they're underwater in the current version. However, while the scene is vividly real to me, I still conceed the very real possibility that it doesn't exist and my mind made it up.
